People tend to look great if they feel great.
I don't feel like, 'Now I'm a great actress.'
Men are boys for such a long time and really don't start getting the great roles until they're in their mid-thirties. But then they've got a long time to do them, whereas for women, it's all about playing younger and younger and younger.
I'm a much healthier person through my relationship with my husband. I've become a more fulfilled person - it's a great partnership.
Woody Allen is a great dramatist and a great comedian.
The power of the story sheds a light and great perspective on well known facts. The power of cinema draws on that collective history.
I use the Philip Kingsley range of shampoos, and they've got a great elasticiser, which is fantastic. I wrap my hair in cling film and put that on.
I'm not particularly needy, and I'm not particularly anxious. I don't look for a director to tell me I'm doing a good job or that I'm great. I don't need to be stroked. It's more my own yardstick.
I want to see a connected and progressive future for Australia, where we harness our greatest natural resources: sun, wind, and brain power.
I admire the work of brilliant actresses such as Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren, who have had such varied careers. They have never stopped working, and they are as great today as they ever were.
I never want to work. Even when you're presented with these great opportunities, I think, 'I really love being in my pajamas with the kids.'
The great thing about not being American is that you don't assume you know what a Southern accent sounds like, so you have to be specific.
I've been pretty lucky in the leading men department.
I've been mostly influenced by experiences in the theater growing up.
